RE: recommendations for accessible kitchen scales and cooking thermometers
The thermometer we got from Blind Mice has served us quite well.

RE: recommendations for accessible kitchen scales and cooking thermometers
I like the iGrill Mini meat probe by Weber. Mini just means there is one probe. You can buy sets of 2 and more if you want to be able to track more than one thing. It is good up to 500 degrees or maybe 550... The app is very accessible. It is a little tedious but with some time exploring, you can get presets set up for anything you want to cook. It has a long cable so if you are baking something in the oven, or on an outdoor grill, you can put the brains of the probe outside of the cooking area so it doesn't melt, . The batteries are a standard round battery, #2032. I use it mostly on the Foreman grill for steaks or for a turkey in the oven, so not a ton of use, but the batteries seem to last quite well. https://www.amazon.com/Weber-7202-iGrill-Mini/dp/B01M30DCHG Richard My web site; https://www.turner42.com/ -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Cristobal Muñoz Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2022 8:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: recommendations for accessible kitchen scales and cooking thermometers I've been using the drop scale https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Scale-Connected-Step-Step/dp/B00TTY34KG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18IP048LO8JAV=drop+scale=1648004603=dropscale%2Caps%2C173=8-1 for the past four years.

RE: recommendations for accessible kitchen scales and cooking thermometers
I've been using the drop scale https://www.amazon.com/Drop-Scale-Connected-Step-Step/dp/B00TTY34KG/ref=sr_1_1?crid=18IP048LO8JAV=drop+scale=1648004603=dropscale%2Caps%2C173=8-1 for the past four years. It measures to the gram. It's completely accessible or at least for what I use it for. I don't really use it for the recipe aspect. Just the scale part. I roast my own coffee beans and make my own coffee. So weighing out the beans for grinding and water for brewing for Pour-over, Aeropress, iced coffee Frenchpress, accuracy to the gram is necessary to be able to replicate a good brew. I mean, I use it for other stuff in the kitchen, but I'm the coffee guy in the house. My wife will go on a rampage if she doesn't have her daily coffee. The company still puts out regular app updates and they've even reached out to me in the past when I've written them about an accessibility hiccup here or there with an update. The other day, I was wiping down the counter and knocked it on the floor and it's still working. Connectivity is pretty quick and VoiceOver reads out the weight in realtime as it fluctuates when you're adding or subtracting whatever it is you're weighing when it's focused on that field. All in all, a very good product. When I bought it, it was closer to $60, but looks like it's $30 now. An even better deal. I do have a talking thermometer that can measure up to 500º Fahrenheit but can't remember the name of the company right now. That one is a straight up talking device. No iOS app or anything. It looks like there are a few options to choose from on Amazon though. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Keith Kramlinger Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2022 6:48 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: recommendations for accessible kitchen scales and cooking thermometers hello, What recommendations do folks have for kitchen scales and cooking thermometers?
